The men's K-1 200 metres sprint canoeing event at the 2020 Summer Olympics took place on 4 and 5 August 2021 at the Sea Forest Waterway. [1] At least 12 canoeists from at least 12 nations competed. [2]
This was the 3rd appearance of the event, which replaced the men's K-1 500 metres in 2012.
The 2016 Olympic champion and reigning World Champion is Liam Heath of Great Britain, who earned a place for his NOC and has been selected to compete. [3]
A National Olympic Committee (NOC) only qualify 1 boat in the event, but could enter up to 2 boats if it had enough men's kayak quota place through other events. A total of 12 qualification places were available, initially allocated as follows:
Qualifying places were awarded to the NOC, not to the individual canoeist who earned the place. [2]
Spain had to decline a quota place due to exceeding the total limit of 6 men's kayak places per nation (after qualifying in the K-4 and K-2 as well). This made a total of 5 World Championship places that were awarded as follows: [4]

[5] Egypt earned Africa's place (after South Africa declined), South Korea took Asia's, ROC and Latvia earned Europe's two places, and Samoa took Oceania's.

Sprint canoeing uses a four-round format for events with at least 11 boats, with heats, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals. The details for each round depend on how many boats ultimately enter. [7]
The course is a flatwater course 9 metres wide. The name of the event describes the particular format within sprint canoeing. The "K" format means a kayak, with the canoeist sitting, using a double-bladed paddle to paddle, and steering with a foot-operated rudder (as opposed to a canoe, with a kneeling canoeist, single-bladed paddle, and no rudder). The "1" is the number of canoeists in each boat. The "200 metres" is the distance of each race. [8]
The event was held over two consecutive days, with two rounds per day. All sessions started at 9:30 a.m. local time, though there are multiple events with races in each session. [9]
